Demi Lovato EndFest

Demi Lovato is a fabulously talented young performer and when I saw her backstage at the Endfest last year here in Sacramento I saw her as a living piece of art too.  Her hair was absolutely gorgeous with a mermaid quality both in color and length.  It had been dyed in gradations of blue, green to yellow.  Really incredible.  We were at the meet and greet prior to the show and in walks this sweet looking girl– Demi Lovato— with the incredible hair and as the headliner you can imagine the buzz around her.  She was very sweetly shy about the whole thing too and so gracious.  It was lovely to meet her, this sweet girl, in a swirl of chaos.  But wowie kazowie when she took the stage that night it was an entirely different woman who traversed the stage with star power and ownership.  And later, when I saw this performing photo in the ones I’d shot that night I was reminded of the iconic image of Raquel Welch in One Million BC— in the way she was standing and the powerful attitude.

About charr

Charr Crail is a Northern California photographer and artist with an avid passion for creating unique digital imagery. Charr, a full-time freelance photographer, spans the divide between photojournalism and extraordinary art via photography and can trace back her evolution as an photographer/artist from three dominant sources. Her father made his living as a newspaper photographer and as soon as he could, was taking young Charr, then four, on assignments to capture a lifetime of experiences and images. He instilled a sense of adventure and curiosity in her as they would often meander down unknown country roads of the South – just to see and capture what was out there. Soon after, Charr would develop her eye for photography and journalism as “the river that runs through everything she does”. Charr’s mother blessed her daughter with the ability to appreciate art in its various mediums. Further, her mother was able to pass along the joy, satisfaction and excitement one can experience in actively creating something beautiful. It’s no surprise, then, that Charr would become a photojournalist and later a photo editor spanning two decades working for Northern California publications including The Sacramento Bee. Often, her assignments would include community events with a “close to home” theme woven into every image and story she captured. Her photojournalistic experience has therefore been nuanced through everything she produces. She’s also drawn to the wonder of color and the beauty that can be found in the composure of a face and the make-up of the human bodyscape. Charr has won countless awards for masterful pieces including; the Professional Photographers of America LOAN Collection for two consecutive years, WPPI Grand Award and her work has been featured in the Di Rosa Museum in California’s beautiful Napa Wine Region and is also part of the permanent collection. Separately, she instructs digital photography workshops that teach students how to blow out the creativity of their photography in simple methods using programs like Adobe Photoshop and how to market using mobile devices-- Visual Content Creation using Mobile Devices.. Charr lives in Sacramento with her husband Chris and kitties Leeloo and Sadie.

One Response to Demi Lovato EndFest

  1. I’ve seen at least 6 concerts before I went and saw Demi but her concert was by far the best I’ve ever seen and experienced. I’ve wanted to see her for years and years and my dream finally came true with this concert. And it was even better than I could’ve ever imagined! She is so sweet and down to earth and an absolutely amazing performer and singer and person! I will remember this concert for the rest of my life. As soon as I can I will for sure try to see her again. And I hope that someday I will be able to meet her and tell her how much she inspires me every single day.
